# Maps
For maps we've used the library google-maps. You can use it by simply importing the maps view in the page you want to render it:
import GoogleMapsLoader from 'google-maps'
methods: {
initMap (google) {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(40.748817, -73.985428)
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: myLatlng,
scrollwheel: false, // we disable de scroll over the map, it is a really annoing when you scroll through page
styles: [{
'featureType': 'water',
'stylers': [{'saturation': 43}, {'lightness': -11}, {'hue': '#0088ff'}]
}, {
'featureType': 'road',
'elementType': 'geometry.fill',
'stylers': [{'hue': '#ff0000'}, {'saturation': -100}, {'lightness': 99}]
}, {
'featureType': 'road',
'elementType': 'geometry.stroke',
'stylers': [{'color': '#808080'}, {'lightness': 54}]
}, {
'featureType': 'landscape.man_made',
'elementType': 'geometry.fill',
'stylers': [{'color': '#ece2d9'}]
}, {
'featureType': 'poi.park',
'elementType': 'geometry.fill',
'stylers': [{'color': '#ccdca1'}]
}, {
'featureType': 'road',
'elementType': 'labels.text.fill',
'stylers': [{'color': '#767676'}]
}, {
'featureType': 'road',
'elementType': 'labels.text.stroke',
'stylers': [{'color': '#ffffff'}]
}, {'featureType': 'poi', 'stylers': [{'visibility': 'off'}]}, {
'featureType': 'landscape.natural',
'elementType': 'geometry.fill',
'stylers': [{'visibility': 'on'}, {'color': '#b8cb93'}]
}, {'featureType': 'poi.park', 'stylers': [{'visibility': 'on'}]}, {
'featureType': 'poi.sports_complex',
'stylers': [{'visibility': 'on'}]
}, {'featureType': 'poi.medical', 'stylers': [{'visibility': 'on'}]}, {
'featureType': 'poi.business',
'stylers': [{'visibility': 'simplified'}]
}]
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), mapOptions)
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
title: 'Hello World!'
})
// To add the marker to the map, call setMap();
marker.setMap(map)
}
},
mounted () {
GoogleMapsLoader.KEY = 'YOUR_KEY_HERE'
GoogleMapsLoader.load((google) => {
this.initMap(google)
})
}
For this component to work, you will need a google maps API key
Follow these steps to get an API key:
- Go to the Google API Console
- Create or select a project.
- Click Continue to enable the API and any related services.
- On the Credentials page, get an API key.
Note: If you have an existing unrestricted API key, or a key with browser restrictions, you may use that key.
- From the dialog displaying the API key, select Restrict key to set a browser restriction on the API key.
- In the Key restriction section, select HTTP referrers (web sites), then follow the on-screen instructions to set referrers.
- (Optional) Enable billing. See Usage Limits for more information.
